Interface Writeable.Writer<V>

Enclosing interface:
Writeable
Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface public static interface Writeable.Writer<V>
Reference to a method that can write some object to a StreamOutput.

By convention this is a method from StreamOutput itself (e.g., StreamOutput.writeString(java.lang.String)). If the value can be null, then the "optional" variant of methods should be used!

Most classes should implement Writeable and the Writeable.writeTo(StreamOutput) method should use StreamOutput methods directly or this indirectly: 


 public void writeTo(StreamOutput out) throws IOException {
     out.writeVInt(someValue);
     out.writeMapOfLists(someMap, StreamOutput::writeString, StreamOutput::writeString);
 }
